We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Wellman Union High school is a very small school, but despite that they have very good teachers. The facilities are very well cared for. The only bad thing is the food since it is not very good.

Wellman Union is a very small, but very hands on in the community. The school encourages the students to participate in everything they desire that the school has to offer so the students can explore what they enjoy and what they can avoid. As a small school, there are many opportunities the children would not be able to have at bigger schools, so the kids get the chance and options to explore their interests as they continue to grow in knowledge and experience.
